Probably the most romance heavy ep, and still NOT A PEEP from partner about the romance.

Excuse me while I check for pods.

This police station has the worst security ever.

#kdrama

Seriously, Healer can get in, get a uniform, wander around, find an open computer, all while the police are on high alert for a hack... and this is the Cybersecurity force.

I have stronger security on my stove.

#kdrama

Be glad they aren't increasing resolution on a photo. My rants on that are legendary. 🤭

If the servers have been taken off a network there is NO WAY Healer can put them on a network himself from random computer. Networks don't work that way.

His reaction to being called a boyfriend is sweet though. #kdrama

Apparently Moon Sik wire tapping his wife's cell phone is the point where my partner's disbelief gets hauled back to earth. I just got an unexpected rant about how that wouldn't have been possible at the time.

However, plugging a cell phone into a desktop computer to hack it is possible if the cell phone is set up as a boot device and you start up the PC with the BIOS set to first go to a USB device for start up.

Which, if the cop has his PC set up like that regularly, makes him the worst cybersecurity cop ever. It's asking to get hacked.

@commonst

Sometimes knowing too much is dangerous.

You may have trouble watching "Memories of the Alhambra."

#kDrama

@whoosh @commonst Mind you, Memories of the Alhambra was kind of sci-fi/fantasy which is how they get around the impossible tech.
My sister and I now have a pact that we can only point out inconsistencies or impossibilities once in a #kdrama. We were the worst during When the Stars Gossip 😂.

@Chrissy @commonst

Oooh - I'm working on my review of "When the Stars Gossip" - my take on the impossible tech there is different.

You're right about "Memories of the Alhambra" being sci-fi/fantasy, so you can be forgiving, but "Healer" being somewhat realistic and so their tech missteps didn't sit as well. (Although, Ahjumma is my favorite hacker ever!)

But "When the Stars Gossip" is in a class of its own for reasons I'm trying to define and so the impossibilities didn't bother me at all there.

#kDrama #WhenTheStarsGossip #Healer #MemoriesOfTheAlhambra

@whoosh @commonst That is true. When the Stars Gossip is a whole different ballgame but some of the impossibilities still bothered me. As did the end.

@Chrissy @commonst

A lot of people complained about the end & some of the characters' commitments to relationships.

I had a different take on those things than most and I thought the ending perfect.

That's why the review is taking me longer to write - trying not to be spoilery, but to convey the meaning I thought the drama had is very difficult!

@whoosh @Chrissy I think about it and vacillate between they were trying to be artsy, and trying to be vague enough to allow multiple interpretations at the end. It wasn't my favourite ending, but I did enjoy the show overall.

@commonst @Chrissy

I think a lot of people thought it was a political statement for anti-abortion.

I thought that it was all about abandonment. The end brings home the profound effect feeling abandoned can have on your decisions. Both leads were abandoned, one purposely, one accidentally, however, they both came to value life so highly that they worked in fields where they could help save lives.

When their whole identity is wrapped up in valuing life & their own emotions of abandonment come in, there is no other choice for them to make.

I think I'm going to rewatch the end again before I finish up my review to see if I can say this in a way that won't be spoilery.

#kDrama

@whoosh @Chrissy at some point I want to rewatch after all the discussions I have had about it since. I feel like there are things to be learned and noticed.
